"Do you want that last cup of coffee?"

"What? No. I don't think you're listening."

"I'm listening. It's just not making much sense. I have to
hurry. The lab opens at nine, and the traffic is
horrendous. OK, the hurricane is blowing, it came down out
of the ceiling on you and you're crawling down the hallway
choking."

". . . so the cat told me telepathically to go out in
the rain, and I was all right. Then we were in the
Nightstalker's trailer---but remember he was retired from
the X-Files. He went off on this tangent about what a
wonderful partner you were---after you left me in that
hallway to suffocate!"

"It's called tough love, Mulder. When you had to, you came
up with the answer."

"Yeah, I know love when I see it, even in a dream. This
wasn't it."

"Do you? I see we're out of orange juice. Again."
